Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Loucura by Carlos Do Carmo from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Sou do fado, como sei
I'm fado, as I know
Vivo um poema cantado
I live a sung poem
Nos fados que eu inventei
In the fados I invented
A falar não posso dar-me
Speaking I can't give myself
Mas ponho a alma a cantar
But I put my soul to sing
Que as almas sabem escutar-me
That souls know how to hear me
Chorai, chorai poetas do meu país
Cry, cry poets from my country
Troncos da mesma raíz, da vida que nos juntou
Trunks of the same root, of the life that brought us together
E se vocês não estivessem a meu lado
And if you weren't by my side
Então não havia fado, nem fadistas como eu sou
So there was no fado, nor fado singers like me
Esta voz tão dolorida
This voice so sore
É culpa de todos vós
It's all your fault
Poetas da minha vida
Poets of my life
É loucura, oiço dizer
It's crazy, I hear you say
Mas bendita esta loucura
But blessed this madness
De cantar e de sofrer
Singing and suffering
